P4 medicine: The current understanding

Abstract

Introduction:

The concept of "precision medicine" has gained significant popularity in recent years, driven by both scientific and political viewpoints. It is a novel healthcare paradigm that employs multidimensional data and machine-learning algorithms to develop public health initiatives. Phenotyping is an integral component of precision medicine approaches and focuses on meticulously examining the health status of each individual. Precision medicine uses vast amounts of biological data for personalised treatments, including genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and pharmacogenomics, thus helping predictive medicine and diagnostics by aiming to provide patients with treatments tailored to their biological and clinical attributes.

Conclusion:

Precision medicine is revolutionising medical treatment, requiring a comprehensive approach involving scientific, clinical, and policy initiatives. Successful implementation requires strong global leadership and unwavering determination to ensure its correct integration into the realms of healthcare and society.
